Suspension Upgrade for a 2023 Subaru Ascent that's Sagging When Pulling a Trailer  

Question:

I have a 2023 Subaru Ascent and need to lift the back end up some with hitched to my trailer. What would your recommendations be?

Expert Reply:

To keep your back end from squatting, I recommend the Coil SumoSprings Custom Helper Springs for Coil Spring Suspension item # CSS-1094R. These insert into your rear springs and keep your suspension from being pushed down by the weight of your trailer.
